Evitch­ka: A True Sto­ry of Sur­vival, Hope and Love tells the sto­ry of an inspi­ra­tional woman and her fam­i­ly in two parts. The first chron­i­cles the life of the Rit­ter fam­i­ly — a young Evitch­ka, her par­ents, grand­par­ents and aunt — and how they were able to sur­vive the Holo­caust in Czecho­slo­va­kia. Before World War II, there were two hun­dred Jew­ish chil­dren in their small town of Humen­né. After the war, there were six. The sec­ond part picks up when an 18-year-old Eva meets a young, soon-to- be doc­tor named Lar­ry Levitt. They had a beau­ti­ful mar­riage for 61 years, but their life togeth­er was not with­out its own chal­lenges, includ­ing Larry’s strug­gles through med­ical school and rais­ing a son with cere­bral pal­sy. Their jour­ney comes full cir­cle when they trav­el with Eva’s par­ents and their chil­dren back to Czecho­slo­va­kia, vis­it­ing Auschwitz and reunit­ing with the cou­ple that took them in. A few years lat­er, incred­i­bly, they have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to repay an unpayable debt when the man who saved them falls ill.
